Sans Other Ohpa 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Aspire Narrow' and 'Mercurial' by Grype, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with frequent diagonal cuts that create a slightly irregular, chiseled silhouette. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of squared bowls and rectangular counters, giving letters like O/Q and B an engineered, modular feel. Stroke terminals often end in oblique facets, and proportions vary noticeably between glyphs, producing a punchy, uneven rhythm that reads more like a display construction than a neutral text face. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with squared apertures and stepped forms that emphasize structure over smoothness.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where bold, angular letterforms can carry a strong voice. It also fits gaming/arcade themes, techno event graphics, and industrial or sci‑fi UI-style titling, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceted details remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic, evoking arcade graphics, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its faceted geometry and stiff, block-like shapes project a rugged, mechanical confidence with a playful retro-tech edge.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that replaces conventional curves with squared, modular components and angled cuts to achieve a techno-industrial look. Its variable proportions and emphatic geometry prioritize character and recognizability over quiet readability in long passages.
The squarish counters and clipped terminals create strong pixel-adjacent cues without fully adopting a grid-based bitmap structure. In running text the spacing and varying widths add energy, but also increase visual noise compared with more regular grotesks.
